Rules
You’ve had to deal with them all of your life. Like it or not, they are a part of your life. If you want to live in a society, there will be rules. Without rules you’d have anarchy, chaos, entropy. Without a common set of rules it would be difficult to interact with others in anything more than a random way. Rules help to provide structure and meaning. Rules can help set behavioral expectations.Some rules make sense: “Wear your seatbelt”, “Wash your hands”, “Don’t spit into the wind”
Some rules seem random: “Limit 1 per customer”, “No beer or alcohol sales in supermarkets”.
Whether you agree with them or not they are necessary.
Well, one of the members of the team, a.k.a. #1, decided the rules didn’t need to apply to him. I’m not sure what he was thinking but it was a lapse in judgment. It’s not a good sign when Information Security shows up at your desk and confiscates your PC. Our group does not make the rules OR enforce them. But our group is keenly aware of the rules.
How stupid to put your job in jeopardy just because you think you’re above the rules! Did he think he wasn’t going to get caught? In today’s age where just about everything we do can be watched and scrutinized why did he think he was safe? I just don’t get it!
I was warned this group had attitude problems and HR issues…
Who knew?!?!?!

Rules?!?! We don't need no stinkin' rules!!! *whew* okay, that's out of my system! :)
Michelle: That's right!!! You go girl!!! "breakin' the law, breakin' the law"
I'm a Renegade!! Oh momma I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law... OR bad girls, bad girls, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you....
So...he just took the computer? That's *smart*. Yeah, smart.
Yikes.
PW: #1 didn't take the PC. Information Security confiscated it!!
StB: Yikes is right. It scared me a little. I'm going to limit my blogging from work for a while. Not sure where that falls in the "Non-business use of corporate resources" spectrum. But I'm going to be more careful.
But yeah. He's just arrogant enough. I bet he thought he wasn't going to get caught. Thought no one would even know what he was up to.
Haven't heard back from them about his PC. I figure they're building a bullet proof/lawsuit proof case against this guy.
